"This was a very cute Valentine’s story, and Will was just the shining start of the story. Unlike most Valentine’s story, it’s not really about Will and Ethan, but about Will doing some self-discovery of his own.... Ethan’s narrative is the strength here. He’s probably around 19 or 20, so of course his fantasy kicks into over-drive. At that age don’t we all think that we really could meet our celebrity crush and be ‘the one’? His commentary is laced with a bit of humour and self-deprecation which makes it fun to read, and it turns out that when faced with reality, maybe he’s a bit more mature than he seems. It was just a perfect little fun story about appreciating that the grass isn’t always greener, that won’t leave you reeling from sugar overload and offered a few smiled along the way. Definitely one of the better Valentine’s stories I’ve read in a while."Serena Yates at Rainbow Reviews:

"...If you like stories about "what might have been", if you enjoy reading about men who have a relationship but need some confirmation that they are with the right man, and if you're looking for a quick, fun read with a serious message about commitment and loving someone who is "real", you will probably like this short story."Lisa at The Novel Approach:"William Pastor learns a very valuable lesson about celebrity worship: sometimes the actor is only as interesting as the words that others have put into his mouth, and only as sure of himself as the directions he’s been given by a script. Sometimes celebrities are far more the image that’s been constructed for them on screen than the reality you’ve spent years of your life cultivating in your imagination. It’s amazing how pretty some people are to look at until they open their mouths and shatter the illusion.... Valentino’s Valentine is a sweet little story about a fan who adds a nice dent to the sleek Teflon coating of a man whose art it is to pretend to be someone he’s not."
